All I ever need is the truth but I all ever want is affection Masquerade as Jesus Christ and suffer the crucifixion Lips that speak of love eternal, come heal my savaged skin Cast aside all thought of revenge, searching for Nirvana within God only knows my belief holds strong The wisdom comes when the heart suffers long And I'm shedding tears for Judas, a kiss may betray And I'm on the side of angels, on the heels of a dream a ghost to lay A hard reign may fall, a cruel wind may blow The moon may be pale and I may never know The need for silence, but I can see hope in the wind, in the rain Lay belief on me, my angel child Lay belief on me, my angel child, child The actor and the poet martyr, castles carved in sand Delight and the promise of Eden, lay in the touch of your hand As sweet as sin, sweeter still the taste The way of all flesh, lay me to waste And heaven knows that the meek shall inherit the earth Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child, child Behold, a silent ocean in a precious grain of sand And if I have to explain, then you'll never understand My petals are strewn, scattered by the breeze It's whispered in the wind, echoes through the trees Love's a disease and it rips me apart, come, heal my ravaged heart Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child, child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child, child, child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child, child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child Lay belief on me my angel child
